This investigation looks at seeing the stress concentrations in a variety of objects using polarised light.  It would work well when looking at material properties and uses basic equipment.

This worksheet explores stress, strain and Young’s Modulus, providing explanations of equations and worked examples. The resource also includes, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a science activity sheet.

This Catalyst article looks at how stress can have an impact on people's well-being but at the same time, humans need a degree of stress in their lives.

This article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2017, Volume 27, Issue 3.

From Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), these practical activities allow students to investigate how woody and herbaceous plants support their shoots, branches, flowers and fruits and shed them at the appropriate time.

A number of investigations are suggested that can be adapted for students over a...

This Cre8ate maths activity draws on measuring stretchiness which involves the collection of real data, calculating percentages and experimental design. This resource models one way in which engineers use their knowledge of mathematics to investigate the properties of materials. Here students investigate the...

From Cornwall College St Austell, this LSIS report describes the partnership with a local school to enhance students' experience in GCSE and AS level chemistry.
